Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 374

Chapter 374: Letter
Emperor Yong’an and Xie Yanghui then went into the mansion, followed by Qiu Yuanbo and the imperial guards.

Because Emperor Yong’an and Xie Yanghui rushed to Yan Junwang’s Mansion, rumors spread in the imperial capital city. It is said that the eldest lady of Xie Guogong’s Mansion passed away, and Emperor Yong’an visited her for the last time in Yan Junwang’s Mansion.

Many people went to Yan Junwang’s Mansion after hearing the rumors to offer their condolences, but they were all rejected by Xuan Ruiquan, which made them more convinced that the rumors were true.

A few days later, after the morning court in Junshi Xianhe Hall, Chi Junheng gave Xuan Ruiquan a letter. Looking at the name signed on the letter, Xuan Ruiquan asked, “Uncle Chi, when will Xiyou come back?”

Chi Junheng walked beside him as they walked down the long stairs and replied, “Dalang has left the eastern border after receiving the news about Xin Xin. He should be on his way back now.”

Xuan Ruiquan listened to Chi Junheng’s answer and nodded. The two of them walked in silence for a while, and Chi Junheng asked, “How are you and Xin Xin’s wedding preparations going?”

Xuan Ruiquan smiled and answered, “Everything is ready. I just wait for Xin’er to agree, then we can get married.”

When Chi Junheng heard this, he raised his brows with a hint of surprise in his voice, “Have you not gotten her answer yet?”

Xuan Ruiquan shook his head, and Chi Junheng chuckled. Chi Junheng sighed and said, “I thought you would marry her as soon as she woke up. Didn’t you two already get His Majesty’s imperial edict five years ago?”

Xuan Ruiquan could only sigh and reply, “I think she has forgotten about it. However, since she woke up, everyone called her Wangfei, but Xin’er never corrected them. I think she should agree to this marriage.”

Seeing his troubled look, Chi Junheng smiled and patted Xuan Ruiquan on the shoulder.

“I never expected you would have this day. You should go back and discuss it with Xin Xin. As long as she agrees, her father and I will agree.”

Xuan Ruiquan nodded and said, “Thank you, Uncle Chi.”

Today, Chi Junheng realized that the ruthless Yan Junwang was actually a husband who was afraid of his wife, and he shook his head with a smile on his face.

After walking out of Wu Men Gate, Xuan Ruiquan bid farewell to Chi Junheng and returned to his mansion. When the servants saw him come back, they stopped what they were doing and saluted him, “Wangye.”

Xuan Ruiquan nodded and asked, “Where is Wangfei?”

A maidservant replied, “Answering Wangye. Wangfei is having breakfast in the pavilion by the lake.”

After getting the answer, Xuan Ruiquan said, “Go back to your work.”

“Yes, Wangye.”

After he learned about Duan Yixin’s location, Xuan Ruiquan walked toward the lake. When he arrived, he saw Duan Yixin eating in the pavilion with Liushiliu, Jian Shi, and a few secret guards working under Jian Shi.

Xuan Ruiquan smiled when he remembered the night Duan Yixin invited the secret guards to dinner a few years ago. After all these years, she is still the same friendly woman and has never changed.

While they were chatting and eating in the pavilion, Duan Yixin saw Xuan Ruiquan walking over. She put down her chopsticks and smiled at him.

“General Xuan, welcome back.”

Xuan Ruiquan frowned slightly when he heard her calling him General Xuan. He had asked her to change the way she called him several times, but Duan Yixin just smiled and said that she liked to call him General Xuan. It reminded her of the first time they met in a small cave.

Jian Shi, Liushiliu, and the secret guards stood up and clasped their fists. They bowed slightly at Xuan Ruiquan and said, “Master.”

Xuan Ruiquan waved his hand and said, “No need for the formality. Take a seat.”

After the secret guards sat down, Xuan Ruiquan sat next to Duan Yixin and looked at the food on the table. From his memories of living as Yu Jingxian for two lifetimes, Xuan Ruiquan knew that some foods were very similar to the foods stored in the liquid chip.

He glanced at Duan Yixin and saw her smiling at him. He smiled back at her and thought, ‘Since she didn’t tell me, then I will pretend not to know.’

Thinking of this, he took out Chi Xiyou’s letter and put it on the table in front of Duan Yixin.

“Xin’er, Uncle Chi gave me this letter this morning. Xiyou sent it to you.”

Duan Yixin’s eyes lit up when she heard this. Chi Xinru had told her everything that had happened in the five years since she had been in a coma. After Liang Jiaying committed suicide, Emperor Yong’an rebuilt the imperial palace and cleaned up the imperial court.

Since many ministers and generals were executed or exiled, Emperor Yong’an had no choice but to hold the imperial examination in advance. He also spent a lot of resources finding loyal ministers and generals who had been exiled or punished because of the conspiracy of Dai Qianyi, Duan Qinwang, and Ye Tianchi.

Chi Xinru also told her that Chi Junheng and Chi Xiyou were now working in the imperial court. Chi Junheng became the second-rank Minister of Personnel, and Chi Xiyou became the third-rank general stationed on the eastern border.

After Tang Zizheng became the top scholar in the last imperial examination, he slowly climbed the rank. After four years of hard work, Tang Zizheng was promoted to prime minister, replacing Ye Tianchi as prime minister of the Xia Empire.

When Duan Yixin learned that Tang Zizheng had become prime minister, she lamented that fate was really hard to change. Fortunately, without Liang Jiaying’s influence, Tang Zizheng did not go astray and became one of Emperor Yong’an’s trusted ministers.

During the years when she was in a coma, Tang Zizheng came to visit her several times but was rejected by Xuan Ruiquan.
